Chapter 389: The Wind Rises

Lu Yu made his move!

The ruins of the royal city had only appeared for three days, yet already countless people were eyeing this coveted treasure land with desire!

Lu Yu was the first to take action.

And immediately claimed a quarter of the ruins!

The news spread throughout the entire ruins.

Five hundred people were killed out of defiance, and a storm is about to sweep through this wasteland.

When Lu Yu entered the Demon Hunting Plains, many organizations had already roughly guessed his intentions.

However, they were still a step too late.

Lu Yu assembled the elite, so they must also face the elite in battle.

When they gathered their elite forces and entered the Demon Hunting Plains again, they were already three hours behind Lu Yu.

Qin Hai brought one thousand Zunzhi, the Chinese military brought five thousand soldiers, and the Celestial Deity Organization also dispatched three thousand elite troops…

The United States, South Korea, and even India did not know by what means they had entered the Demon Hunting Plains.

One by one, organizations were rushing toward the ruins, and wherever they passed, other organizations continuously retreated, their bodies filled with an indescribable chill!

“Everyone’s here. Is this going to spark a world war or something?”

“Qin Hai is here too. He’s the only one I think who can stand up to Lu Yu directly.”

“The Chinese military actually deployed five thousand troops. Are they determined to fight until the end without backing down?”

The Monster Hunting Plains were in an uproar; those who were leveling up stopped training, and even those searching for treasures ceased their quests.

Hundreds of thousands of people were surging towards the ruins of the royal city.

What they are about to witness might very well be a world war!

These dozen or so groups belong to the most powerful forces in the world; they were almost the first to enter the Monster Hunting Plains.

They couldn’t stay seated when they received the news about Lu Yu.

Among them, the Indians were the most arrogant.

They have just dispatched troops to gather at the border of Huaxia, and twenty Supreme Warriors are also rushing to the border.

At this moment, their momentum became even stronger, and no one could stop them.

Therefore, upon hearing the news about Lu Yu, he became even more furious, exclaiming, “What? Lu Yu dares to claim a quarter of the ruins? Who does he think he is?”

“He’s ruthless enough to choose ruins over the entire world? I’d like to see how he meets his end!”

“The agreement is invalid now. It seems it’s up to who has the capability!”

Tens of thousands of Indians rushed into the Demon Hunting Plains, making their way toward the ruins.

In the past few days, the ruins have been anything but peaceful.

However, what is even more unsettling is that various countries have already been in secret contact with each other, their goal being to divide the ruins of the royal city among themselves.

Even all parties have nearly completed the agreement on the division.

Even Qin Hai had been constantly pondering whether angering the entire world was worth it.

Qin Hai wasn’t afraid of others, but he had to worry about Lu Yu.

But he didn’t expect that Lu Yu would strike first, completely disregarding his presence.

“Perhaps, has a single death of mine even erased my past domineering spirit?”

Qin Hai couldn’t help but sigh, feeling somewhat helpless.

In the past, he might have acted the same way as Lu Yu did.

But now, time and death have made him cautious and careful.

Qin Hai was provoked by Lu Yu, and the extinguished and fading fighting spirit and domineering aura began to return gradually.

Suddenly, Qin Hai let out a sharp cold snort and sternly shouted, “I was born to be the king! No one in this world can rival me! If Lu Yu can achieve it, why can’t I?”

Qin Hai let out a mighty roar, and a momentum that made the heavens and earth tremble surged from within him.

He was like an awakened dragon, his body surging with raging magical flames that transformed into numerous dragon-shaped flames swirling around him.

A thousand supreme beings behind Qin Hai were overjoyed, unable to resist raising their weapons together and letting out a long, triumphant roar towards the sky.

Their king has returned, no longer hesitating!

The ruins of the royal city—small factions have retreated to the edges of the wreckage, too afraid to push further.

This place no longer belongs to them.

Moreover, if a war were to break out here, it would certainly be a battle of Sovereign-level.

The immense power that can collapse a thousand miles with a single movement is something ordinary people cannot withstand.

Among the ruins of the current royal city, there is no one left except Lu Yu and his troops.

Before the ruins were divided into territories, outsiders dared not set foot in this area.

A single misstep could lead to irreversible consequences, or even offend an entire nation.

The Supreme Black Tiger stands atop the ruins.

Lu Yu stood on the head of the black tiger, holding the stone sword upside down and gazing into the distance.

Behind him stood thirty-five uncrowned kings and three hundred and sixty-seven warriors.

They were waiting, anticipating the enemies of the future.

On the other side of the hill, a thunderous sound of footsteps had already begun to echo, like a thousand soldiers charging into battle, kicking up sand and stones from the earth that swirled into a violent dust storm.

“Here you are!”

Lu Yu’s voice was icy cold as he gazed at the mountain range ahead. The aura of a thousand Supreme Beings surged like roaring thunder and lightning.

Qin Hai’s figure was surrounded by a thousand demons at the center, his expression icy as he stared intently into the ruins.

He saw Lu Yu, as well as the people around him.

The two gazed at each other from a distance, neither of them moving.

Qin Hai signaled his people to stop, then strode into the ruins, making his way toward the line drawn by Lu Yu.

“Lu Yu, you’ve gone too far,” Qin Hai said coldly. “You, someone who occupies a quarter of the ruins, aren’t afraid of provoking the entire world!”

“If I were afraid, I wouldn’t be here today!” Lu Yu said coldly. “This territory is mine. Anyone who crosses the line will die!”

Qin Hai stood outside the boundary, glanced at the abyss at his feet, and coldly said, “What if I decide to take it by force!”

“The area I have marked out is mine. If you want to take it, you’d better have the strength to seize it. You can also redraw the boundaries; if you have the ability to hold them, that’s your strength too!”

Qin Hai looked into the distance and raised his hand, letting out a fierce shout to the heavens: “Starting today, the underworld will also claim a quarter of the ruins, and anyone who steps across will die!”

Boom!

On the peak of the mountain, a thousand sovereigns charged downward, like a thousand fierce tigers launching a deadly assault.

Behind Qin Hai, a pitch-black demonic shadow emerged. The shadow towered thousands of feet high and suddenly extended a giant hand from the void, swiftly pointing downward toward a pile of ruins.

He pointed his finger into the ground, then swept it across the vast land, marking out an area.

“These two are both madmen!” Those who had retreated from the ruins were stunned.

The two of them directly claimed half of the ruins for themselves.

How should we divide the remaining half?

The ruins of Qin Hai and Lu Yu were connected together, directly sweeping away half of them.

Qin Hai and his men also stepped across their own boundary and took their positions there, guarding the line.

Just as Qin Hai had barely steadied himself, teams from more than ten countries, including China, the United States, South Korea, and India, all surged over the mountains and entered the ruins.

Everyone had heard what Qin Hai said just now.

It was precisely because they had heard the news that their expressions and moods were all heavy with sorrow.

If Lu Yu takes a quarter and Qin Hai also takes a quarter, how should the remaining half be divided?

When everyone looked at the remaining ruins, although they were still vast.

But now the dozen or so factions that have arrived can also claim a portion of the territory.

But what about later on? There were also powerful organizations and nations in later times. Should we compete with them as well?

The Korean stood in front of the boundary drawn by Qin Hai and Lu Yu, clearly dissatisfied, and snorted coldly, “Don’t push your luck too far. This ruin doesn’t belong to you. You have no right to occupy it like this!”

This time, nearly a thousand Koreans arrived, including dozens of Sovereigns, with the rest being Star Lords.

Within these people’s bodies, it seemed as if another presence was hidden, sending chills down one’s spine.

“Step through here and give it a try,” Lu Yu said coldly, staring at the Korean who had spoken.

The Korean’s face turned pale with anger as he looked at Lu Yu and said, “They say you’re the best in China, but I wonder if that’s really true!”

Lu Yu said, “If you want to know, you can step into this ruins and take a look.”

“Good!” the man sneered. Suddenly, he waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to use the strongest. Ten Zun’s power is enough.”

As he spoke, the man pointed at someone in the crowd and said, “Step forward; I’d like to see who will come out victorious!”

The person whose name was called walked out expressionlessly, as if strolling leisurely, and stepped into the ruins!

Although the aura of this person did not even reach the level of a Zun, his expression remained unchanged.

With every step he took, his eyes gained more redness, and within that redness, blood sigils flickered.

In almost a single breath, the person transformed from a human into a demon.

The demon with the power of ten heavenly realms stood within the boundary, his voice cold as he declared, “I have entered. Who will step forward to die!”

Qin Hai scoffed from the other side, “So it’s a Hybrid Demon, combining human and parasitic demon powers, two souls sharing one body. It seems a deal has been struck between the parasitic demons and humans.”

“I’ll handle it!” a king without a crown stepped forward and said, “Mr. Lu, leave such a minor character to us. If there’s really someone too strong, then you can step in!”

Lu Yu looked at the person and nodded, saying, “Alright!”

Although Zi Yu was not the most gifted among them, he was one of the first ten individuals to become a Zun.

After becoming the Sovereign, Zi Yu’s progress was remarkable. Within a month, he broke through and reached the power of the Fourth Sovereign.

The demon across from Zi Yu sneered coldly, “You dare come here with the power of the Fourth Sovereign? Do you believe I can crush you to death?”

“Crush me to death?” Zi Yu laughed. “In this world, there are people who, even if they seem weak, can still take down someone like you!”

“Then let’s see who dies first!” the demon roared, charging toward Zi Yu.

Zi Yu didn’t even use his star-forged weapon, charging forward bare-handed to collide with the opponent.

The demonic aura around the devil transformed into a ferocious beast’s mouth, its狰狞 maw lunging towards Zi Yu with a vicious bite!

Purple-feathered Lu Yu lunged forward in a single step, plunging into the thick demonic energy, and slashed at it with both hands.

The beast’s mouth was slashed through.

Before the demon could react, Zi Yu’s hands had already pierced through its chest, and with a swift motion, he tore the heart out.

“How is this possible!”

Many people among the South Koreans jumped up.

The Parasitic Demon of the Tenfold Power was killed in this manner.

“Flash sale!”

“Four Zun experts instantly killed ten Zun experts. Who is this person?”

“How can someone so young be so terrifying!”

Suddenly, a chorus of voices erupted from all directions, and countless eyes fixed their gaze on Zi Yu.

Zi Yu tossed the heart in his hand onto the ground, kicked the corpse of the parasitic demon aside, and sneered, “I’ve said it before: those who are weak aren’t necessarily destined to be killed by demons; they can also slay demons themselves. If you can’t even get past me, how dare you challenge Master Lu!”
